Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Tanneycomo 01/27/07:

Best fly patterns for the week: The amount of water run over the past couple of weeks has been amazing; the Corps of Engineers has had at least one generator running continually and many times they have had all four on line. Because of this the best fly patterns by far have been shad and minnow imitators like Clouser minnows or perfect minnows in size #12 and #14, these flies imitate the shad that are being drawn through the turbines at the Table Rock Dam. Not allot of big fish being caught on flies right now but the numbers are hard to beat.

Best spinning tackle: All of the water has made for some incredible fishing over the past couple of weeks since the storm. Just about any minnow imitator will work right now; Rooster Tails, Mepps and Panther Martin spinners, Super Dupers, Little Cleos and Buoyant Spoons, small jigs in white, white / chartreuse and white / red and even a few big fish being caught on Rapalas and Smithwick Rouges. The bite has been incredible and should remain so as long as there is water running.
